TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] Embodiments of this application relate to the field of wireless communications, and
in particular, to a communication processing method and apparatus.
BACKGROUND
[0003] In a wireless communications system, a terminal and a radio access device serving
the terminal each include, based on protocol layers, a physical (physical, PHY) layer,
a media access control (medium access control, MAC) layer, a radio link control (radio
link control, RLC) layer, a packet data convergence protocol (packet data convergence
protocol, PDCP) layer, a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) layer,
and the like.
[0004] A physical channel is a channel used for transmitting information processed by a
physical layer. Different types of physical channels may transmit different types
of information processed by the physical layer. A physical downlink control channel
(physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) is a main channel for transmitting physical
layer control signaling on a down link, and may be used to indicate a location of
a time-frequency resource for uplink data transmission or downlink data transmission.
[0005] On the physical channel, a time-frequency resource is divided into a plurality of
grids, and a minimum grid consists of one time domain symbol and one unit frequency.
Optionally, a time domain symbol may be an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, OFDM) symbol or a single carrier frequency
division multiple access (Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access, SC-FDMA)
symbol; and a unit frequency may be a subcarrier of 15 kHz or 60 Hz. A transmission
time unit may include at least two time domain symbols, such as seven or 14 time domain
symbols.
[0006] In a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) time division multiplexing (time
division duplex, TDD) system, a transmission time unit is a subframe (sub-frame).
This subframe includes two slots, and each slot includes six or seven time domain
symbols. The radio access device performs a time domain resource configuration for
data transmission based on a granularity of the entire transmission time unit, that
is, a type of a transmission time unit are a downlink time domain resource or an uplink
time domain resource.
[0007] In a fifth-generation wireless communications system (5G system for short), a transmission
time unit is a slot including seven or 14 time domain symbols. The radio access device
performs a time domain resource configuration for data transmission based on a granularity
of at least one time domain symbol in a slot, that is, types of some time domain symbols
in a slot are an uplink time domain resource type, types of some time domain symbols
are a downlink time domain resource type, and types of some other time domain symbols
are an unknown (unknown) type, where on the time domain symbols of the unknown type,
the terminal neither receives downlink data nor transmits uplink data. The radio access
device in the 5G system may indicate, to the terminal through a PDCCH such as a group
common (Group Common) PDCCH, whether the type of each time domain symbol in this slot
is the uplink time domain resource type, the downlink time domain resource, or the
unknown type.
[0008] In the case of co-existence (co-existence) of the LTE TDD system with the 5G system,
the terminal may be served by both the systems. To co-exist with the LTE TDD system,
the 5G system can perform a flexible time domain resource configuration to co-exist
with the LTE TDD system. However, at a same data transmission moment, some transmission
time units or some time domain symbols are of the uplink time domain resource type
in one of the two systems, so that uplink data transmission exists, and are of the
downlink time domain resource type in the other system, so that downlink data transmission
exists, causing interference.
SUMMARY
[0009] Embodiments of this application provide a communication processing method, to cancel
interference caused by a possibility that both uplink data transmission and downlink
data transmission exist between different communications systems at a same data transmission
moment because of different time domain resource configurations.
[0010] A first aspect of the embodiments of this application provides a communication processing
method, applied to a terminal or a chip in the terminal, and including:
obtaining first information sent by a first wireless communications system, where
the first information is used to determine a time offset of a time domain resource
configuration in the first wireless communications system;
determining a time domain location of the time domain resource configuration in the
first wireless communications system based on the time offset; and
performing data transmission at the time domain location based on the time domain
resource configuration in the first wireless communications system.
[0011] The technical solution according to the first aspect is applied. The time domain
location of the time domain resource configuration that is in the first wireless communications
system and that is aligned with a time domain resource configuration in a second wireless
communications system is determined based on the time offset, and the terminal performs
the data transmission with the first wireless communications system at the determined
time domain location. In this way, interference with the second wireless communications
system is avoided. Moreover, when determining the time domain location of the time
domain resource configuration by using the time offset, the terminal does not perceive
whether the second wireless communications system exists.
[0012] Based on the first aspect, in a first possible implementation of the first aspect,
the first information is the time offset or an index of the time offset; or
the first information is an index of a time domain resource configuration in a second
wireless communications system, and the time domain resource configuration in the
second wireless communications system corresponds to the time offset.
[0013] In this implementation, an implementation of the first information may be the time
offset or the index of the time offset, or the time offset corresponds to the time
domain resource configuration in the second wireless communications system. A unit
of the time offset may be a transmission time unit or at least one time domain symbol.
[0014] Based on the first aspect and the first possible implementation of the first aspect,
in a second possible implementation of the first aspect, the time offset is used to
align transmission time units that have a same time domain resource type in an uplink
and downlink switching period and that are in the first wireless communications system
and the second wireless communications system.
[0015] In this implementation, it is further limited in such a manner that the time offset
may be used to align the transmission time units that have the same time domain resource
type in the uplink and downlink switching period. That is, at the same transmission
moment, either uplink data transmission or downlink data transmission is performed
between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications
system. In this way, interference is avoided.
[0016] Based on the first possible implementation or the second possible implementation
of the first aspect, in a third possible implementation of the first aspect, the first
wireless communications system is a fifth-generation wireless communications system,
and the second wireless communications system is an LTE system; and
there is the following correspondence between the time domain resource configuration
in the second wireless communications system and the time offset:
Index of a time domain resource configuration in the LTE system |
0 |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
Time offset (unit: transmission time unit) |
(0+E)%5 |
(1+E)%5 |
(2+E)%5 |
(5+E)%10 |
(6+E)%10 |
(7+E)%10 |
where E is a timing offset between the second wireless communications system and the
first wireless communications system, and when timing is synchronized between the
first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system,
a value of the timing offset is 0.
[0017] In this implementation, the time domain resource configuration in the second wireless
communications system corresponds to the time offset. The first wireless communications
system may notify the terminal of the used time domain resource configuration, so
that the terminal determines the time offset based on the foregoing correspondence.
[0018] Based on the third possible implementation of the first aspect, in a fourth possible
implementation of the first aspect, the method further includes:
obtaining second information sent by the first wireless communications system, where
the second information indicates a timing offset of the first wireless communications
system.
[0019] In this implementation, considering that the timing offset may exist in the first
wireless communications system, the timing offset may be used as a reference factor
for determining the time offset.
[0020] A second aspect of the embodiments of this application provides a communication processing
method, applied to a radio access device in a first wireless communications system
or a chip in the radio access device. The method includes the following content:
determining a time offset of a time domain resource configuration in the first wireless
communications system; determining, based on the time offset, a time domain location
of the time domain resource configuration that is in the first wireless communications
system and that is aligned with a time domain resource configuration in a second wireless
communications system in an uplink and downlink switching period; and performing data
transmission with a terminal at the time domain location based on the time domain
resource configuration in the first wireless communications system.
[0021] The technical solution according to this implementation is applied. The time domain
location of the time domain resource configuration that is in the first wireless communications
system and that is aligned with the time domain resource configuration in the second
wireless communications system is determined based on the time offset, and the terminal
performs the data transmission with the first wireless communications system at the
determined time domain location. In this way, interference with the second wireless
communications system is avoided.
[0022] Based on the second aspect, in a first possible implementation of the second aspect,
the method further includes:
sending first information to the terminal, where the first information is used by
the terminal to determine the time offset.
[0023] In this implementation, the terminal can obtain the time offset to determine the
time domain location of the time domain resource configuration for performing the
data transmission with the first wireless communications system.
[0024] Based on the first possible implementation of the second aspect, in a second possible
implementation of the second aspect, the first information is the time offset or an
index of the time offset; or the first information is an index of a time domain resource
configuration in a second wireless communications system, and the time domain resource
configuration in the second wireless communications system corresponds to the time
offset.
[0025] In this implementation, an implementation of the first information is enumerated,
so that the first information can be flexibly sent.
[0026] Based on any one of the second aspect to the second possible implementation of the
second aspect, in a third possible implementation of the second aspect, the time offset
is used to align transmission time units that have a same time domain resource type
in an uplink and downlink switching period and that are in the first wireless communications
system and the second wireless communications system.
[0027] In this implementation, it is further limited in such a manner that the time offset
may be used to align the transmission time units that have the same time domain resource
type in the uplink and downlink switching period. That is, at the same transmission
moment, either uplink data transmission or downlink data transmission is performed
between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications
system.
[0028] Based on the second possible implementation or the third implementation of the second
aspect, in a fourth possible implementation of the second aspect, the first wireless
communications system is a fifth-generation wireless communications system, and the
second wireless communications system is an LTE system; and
there is the following correspondence between the time domain resource configuration
in the second wireless communications system and the time offset:
Index of a time domain resource configuration in the LTE system |
0 |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
Time offset (unit: transmission time unit) |
(0+E)%5 |
(1+E)%5 |
(2+E)%5 |
(5+E)%10 |
(6+E)%10 |
(7+E)%10 |
where E is a timing offset between the second wireless communications system and the
first wireless communications system, and when timing is synchronized between the
first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system,
a value of the timing offset is 0.
[0029] In this implementation, the time domain resource configuration in the second wireless
communications system corresponds to the time offset. The first wireless communications
system may notify the terminal of the used time domain resource configuration, so
that the terminal determines the time offset based on the foregoing correspondence.
[0030] Based on the fifth possible implementation of the second aspect, in a sixth possible
implementation of the second aspect, the method further includes:
determining a timing offset of the first wireless communications system.
[0031] Based on the sixth possible implementation of the second aspect, in a seventh possible
implementation of the second aspect, the method further includes:
sending second information to the terminal, where the second information indicates
the timing offset of the first wireless communications system.
[0032] In the sixth and seventh possible implementations, because the timing offset of the
first wireless communications system may be used as a reference factor of the time
offset, the terminal learns of the timing offset, to help determine the time domain
offset more accurately.
[0033] A third aspect of the embodiments of this application provides a communication processing
apparatus. The communication processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit, a determining
unit, and a transmission unit. The obtaining unit is configured to perform an obtaining
action in any one of the first aspect to the possible implementations of the first
aspect, the determining unit is configured to perform a determining action according
to any one of the first aspect to the possible implementations of the first aspect,
and the transmission unit is configured to perform actions such as a receiving action
and a sending action according to any one of the first aspect to the possible implementations
of the first aspect. In a specific physical implementation, the obtaining unit and
the transmission unit may be a transceiver circuit, and the determining unit may be
a processing circuit. The communication processing apparatus may be a terminal or
may be a chip in the terminal. The chip includes a plurality of gate circuits to implement
functions of the foregoing functional units. The communication processing apparatus
according to the third aspect may implement beneficial effects achieved by any one
of the first aspect to the possible implementations of the first aspect. Details are
not described again.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0038] In a schematic architectural diagram of a wireless communications system shown in
FIG. 1, a radio access device, such as a base station, a wireless local area network
access node, or another transmission reception point (transmission reception point,
TRP) provides a terminal with an access service in a licensed spectrum or an access
service in an unlicensed spectrum. The terminal and the radio access device transmit,
based on a protocol layer, various types of data such as control signaling or service
data over an air interface on an up link and a down link. The control signaling is
mainly transmitted on a control channel, and the service data is mainly transmitted
on a traffic channel. Divided based on the protocol layer, the radio access device
may further include a control unit (control unit, CU) and at least one distributed
unit (distributed unit, DU). The CU is configured to implement functions of a PDCP
layer, an RRC layer, and a protocol layer higher than the PDCP layer and the RRC layer
of the radio access device; and the DU is configured to implement a function of a
protocol layer lower than the PDCP layer.
[0039] The wireless communications system shown in FIG. 1 may be a wireless communications
system such as a new radio (New Radio, NR) system (also referred to as a 5G system),
LTE, a long term evolution advanced (Advanced long term evolution, LTE-A) system,
or an evolved long term evolution (evolved Long Term Evolution, eLTE) system.
[0040] In various embodiments of this application, the terminal, also referred to as user
equipment (User Equipment, UE), is a device that provides a user with a voice and/or
data connectivity, such as a handheld device having a wireless connection function
or an in-vehicle device. A common terminal, for example, includes a mobile phone,
a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile internet device
(mobile internet device, MID), and a wearable device such as a smartwatch, a smart
band, or a pedometer.
[0041] In FIG. 1, an LTE TDD system may co-exist with the 5G system by using a time domain
resource configuration (as shown in Table 1) in the LTE TDD system, to jointly provide
a communication service for a terminal 1. A radio access device 1 in the LTE TDD system
and a radio access device 2 in the 5G system may be separate physical devices, or
may be a same co-site physical device. In addition to the co-existence scenario, when
a cell in the LTE TDD system is neighboring to a cell in the 5G system, the 5G system
may provide a communication service for the terminal 1, and the LTE TDD system may
provide a communication service for a terminal 2.
[0042] It can be learned from Table 1 that the time domain resource configuration in the
LTE TDD system includes two types of periods: a 5-ms period and a 10-ms period. For
the 5-ms period, a subframe 1 and a subframe 6 are fixedly special subframes. For
the 10-ms period, the subframe 1 is fixedly a special subframe. Each special subframe
includes a downlink part of the special subframe (Downlink Part of the Special Subframe),
a guard period (Guard Period, GP), and an uplink part of the special subframe (Uplink
Part of the Special Subframe). A next subframe after each special subframe is always
used to transmit uplink data.
[0043] Because a time domain resource configuration in the 5G system is relatively flexible,
in 5G, a time domain resource configuration that is in the 5G system and that corresponds
to any one of the time domain resource configurations in the LTE TDD system in Table
1 may be exhaustively presented based on a feature of the foregoing time domain resource
configuration in the LTE TDD system. The time domain resource configuration in the
5G system includes a downlink time domain resource configuration, an uplink time domain
resource configuration, and an unknown type of configuration.
[0044] A specific period of the downlink time domain resource configuration is used as an
example. For the downlink time domain resource configuration: at the beginning of
the period, x1 transmission time units are configured to be of a downlink time domain
resource type (a value of x1 falls within a range of 0 to a total quantity of transmission
time units in this period); in an (x1+1)
th transmission time unit, x2 time domain symbols are configured to be of the downlink
time domain resource type (a value of x2 falls within a range of 0 to a total quantity
of time domain symbols in this transmission time unit), x3 time domain symbols are
configured to be of an unknown type, and x4 time domain symbols are configured to
be of an uplink time domain resource type (x2+x3+x4=the quantity of time domain symbols
in this transmission time unit); and then, y1 transmission time units start to be
configured, from an (x1+2)
th transmission time unit, to be of the uplink time domain resource type. The 5G system
may perform the foregoing configuration based on different time domain resource configurations
in LTE TDD in Table 1, so that the 5G system co-exists with the LTE TDD system.

[0045] D indicates a downlink subframe (a transmission time unit in the LTE system is a
subframe), used for downlink data transmission. U indicates an uplink subframe used
for uplink data transmission. S indicates a special subframe.
[0046] Although the LTE TDD system can co-exist with the 5G system in the foregoing manner,
at a same data transmission moment, there is a case in which uplink data transmission
and downlink data transmission both exist on some transmission time units, causing
signal interference. For example, as shown in Table 2, in a radio frame, a time domain
resource configuration in 5G co-exists with a time domain resource configuration 2
in LTE TDD. Assuming that the LTE TDD system and the 5G system both start transmission
from a transmission time unit 0 at a same data transmission moment, signal interference
is caused because uplink data transmission and downlink data both exist on transmission
time units 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9.

[0047] D+Un+U indicates that some time domain symbols in this transmission time unit are
of the downlink time domain resource type and are used for downlink data transmission;
some time domain symbols are of the unknown type; and some time domain symbols are
of the uplink time domain resource type and are used for uplink data transmission.
[0048] For ease of understanding, the foregoing description is made by using an example
of co-existence of the LTE system with the 5G system. However, the foregoing problem
of interference may occur for time domain resource configurations in any two different
wireless communications systems.
[0049] Therefore, in view of the foregoing technical problem, a first embodiment of this
application provides a communication processing method, to determine a time offset
between time domain resource configurations in different wireless communications systems.
The time offset is used to avoid interference caused by existence of both uplink data
transmission and downlink data transmission on the transmission time units at a same
data transmission moment. It should be noted that data in the various embodiments
of this application includes service data or control signaling. In the various embodiments
of this application, actions performed by a wireless communications system may be
performed by a radio access device in this wireless communications system. Radio access
devices in the different wireless communications systems may be two physically separate
devices, or may be a same co-site physical device.
[0050] FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of the communication processing method. The first
embodiment includes the following content.
[0051] 201: A first wireless communications system determines a time offset of a time domain
resource configuration in the first wireless communications system.
[0052] A unit of the time offset may be a transmission time unit, or may be at least one
time domain symbol, at least one slot or at least one subframe. The time offset may
be used to align transmission time units that have a same time domain resource type
in an uplink and downlink switching period and that are in the first wireless communications
system and a second wireless communications system.
[0053] "Alignment" herein may be understood as that at a same data transmission moment,
a time domain resource type of data transmission in the first wireless communications
system and a time domain resource type of data transmission in the second wireless
communications system are the same or do not interfere with each other (for example,
because a terminal neither performs receiving or sending on a time domain resource
of an unknown type in a 5G system, interference is not caused regardless of a time
domain resource type of an LTE system on the time domain resource). Briefly, at a
specific data transmission moment, the time domain resource type of data transmission
in the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications
system is either an uplink time domain resource type for performing uplink data transmission,
or a downlink time domain resource type for performing downlink data transmission,
or there is the unknown type, to avoid existence of both the uplink data transmission
and the downlink data transmission at the same data transmission moment.
[0054] Optionally, the first wireless communications system is the 5G system, and the second
wireless communications system is an LTE TDD system. A transmission time unit may
be a slot including 14 time domain symbols.
[0055] In an example, the time domain resource configuration 2 in the LTE TDD system is
still used as an example. As shown in FIG. 3, a transmission time unit 0 in the LTE
TDD system and a transmission time unit 2 in the 5G system are of the downlink time
domain resource type. In addition, for a same data transmission moment, if two transmission
time units are offset when the 5G system performs data transmission, the LTE TDD system
and the 5G system are of a same time domain resource type on each transmission time
unit regardless of a data transmission moment, to avoid interference, and the time
offset is determined as two transmission time units.
[0056] 202: The first wireless communications system sends first information to a terminal,
where the first information is used to determine the time offset; and correspondingly,
the terminal receives the first information, and determines the time offset based
on the first information.
[0057] Optionally, the first information may be carried in a system message such as a master
information block (master information block, MIB) or a system information block (system
information block, SIB) or remaining system information (remaining system information)
or other system information (other system information, OSI), a broadcast message,
an RRC message, a MAC message, or downlink control information of a PDCCH.
[0058] Optionally, the first information is the time offset or an index of the time offset.
Alternatively, the first information is an index of the time domain resource configuration
in the second wireless communications system, and the time domain resource configuration
in the second wireless communications system corresponds to the time offset.
[0059] In an implementation, when the first wireless communications system is the fifth-generation
wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system is an
LTE system, a correspondence between the time domain resource configuration in the
second wireless communications system and the time offset is shown in Table 3.

[0060] E is a timing offset between the second wireless communications system and the first
wireless communications system, and when timing is synchronized between the first
wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system, a value
of the timing offset is 0. The timing offset indicates an advance of a first subframe
or slot in a system frame in the second communications system relative to a first
subframe or slot in a system frame in the first communications system. The advance
may be a quantity of slots or subframes, or may be an absolute time value, and % indicates
a modulo operation.
[0061] In this case, the first information may specifically indicate an index of an uplink
configuration in the second wireless communications system. The terminal may determine
the time offset based on the correspondence that is preset in the terminal and that
is between the time domain resource configuration in the second wireless communications
system and the time offset.
[0062] 203: The first wireless communications system determines a time domain location of
the time domain resource configuration in the first wireless communications system
based on the time offset; and correspondingly, the terminal determines the time domain
location based on the time offset.
[0063] Because a timing offset may exist between the first wireless communications system
and the second wireless communications system, the transmission time units 0 of the
two wireless communications systems are not synchronized in time. The timing offset
may be an absolute time value or a quantity of transmission time units. As shown in
FIG. 3, when the time domain location of the time domain resource configuration in
the first wireless communications system is determined, the first wireless communications
system determines the time domain location based on the time offset and the timing
offset. Correspondingly, the first wireless communications system may further send
second information to the terminal. The second information indicates whether the timing
offset exists. If the timing offset exists, a value of the timing offset is specifically
indicated in the second information. Therefore, after receiving the second information,
the terminal may determine the time domain location of the time domain resource configuration
in the first wireless communications system based on the time offset and the timing
offset.
[0064] Optionally, instead of notifying the terminal of the timing offset, the first wireless
communications system may further notify the terminal of the time offset after determining
the time offset based on the timing offset, so that the terminal does not need to
process the timing offset.
[0065] 204: The terminal and the first wireless communications system perform data transmission
at the time domain location based on the time domain resource configuration in the
first wireless communications system.
[0066] The technical solution provided in the first embodiment is applied. The time offset
of the time domain resource configuration in the first wireless communications system
is determined, so that the transmission time units that have the same time domain
resource type in the uplink and downlink switching period and that are in the first
wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system are aligned.
In this way, interference caused by existence of both uplink data transmission and
downlink data transmission on the transmission time units at the same data transmission
moment is avoided.
[0067] A second embodiment of this application provides another communication processing
method. Compared with the first embodiment, a data transmission mode of a first wireless
communications system on each transmission time unit is directly determined based
on a time domain configuration in a second wireless communications system, so that
a time domain symbol is used for either uplink data transmission or downlink data
transmission. In this way, interference is avoided. As shown in FIG. 4, the second
embodiment includes the following content.
[0068] 400: The first wireless communications system determines, based on a time domain
resource configuration in the second wireless communications system, a time domain
resource configuration that is in the first wireless communications system and that
is aligned with the time domain resource configuration in the second wireless communications
system in an uplink and downlink switching period, where the first wireless communications
system and the second wireless communications system have a same time domain resource
type on a same transmission time unit.
[0069] For example, for any same transmission time unit in the first wireless communications
system and the second wireless communications system, the first wireless communications
system on this transmission time unit is of either a downlink time domain resource
type or an uplink time domain resource type, or is of either a downlink time domain
resource type or an uplink time domain resource type on a same time domain symbol
in this transmission time unit.
[0070] 401: The terminal receives system information specific to a cell and sent by the
first wireless communications system, where the system information indicates transmission
time units or time domain symbols of an uplink time domain resource type or a downlink
time domain resource type of all terminals in a cell in which the terminal is located.
[0071] Optionally, 402: The terminal receives indication information specific to the terminal
and sent by the first wireless communications system, where the indication information
indicates a transmission time unit or a time domain symbol that is of an uplink time
domain resource type or a downlink time domain resource type and that is specific
to the terminal.
[0072] In 401, because the system information may be broadcast in the cell, all the terminals
in the cell in which the terminal is located can receive the system information, and
determine the transmission time unit that is of the uplink time domain resource type
or the downlink time domain resource type and that is indicated by the system information,
or some time domain symbols in a specific transmission time unit. For a transmission
time unit or a time domain symbol that is not indicated by the system information,
the terminal may consider by default that these transmission time units are of an
unknown type.
[0073] In 402, because the indication information is specific to the terminal, this terminal
may determine transmission time units or time domain symbols that are in the uplink
time domain resource type and that are indicated by the indication information and
transmission time units or time domain symbols that are in the downlink time domain
resource type and that are indicated by the indication information. The transmission
time unit or the time domain symbol that is of the uplink time domain resource type
or the downlink data resource type and that is indicated by the indication information
is a transmission time unit or a time domain symbol that is not indicated by the system
information in 401, or is a transmission time unit or a time domain symbol that is
indicated to be of the unknown type.
[0074] In a possible implementation of this embodiment, the 5G system determines, based
on time domain resource configurations 0 to 5 in LTE TDD, time domain resource configurations
in the 5G system that are respectively aligned with the time domain resource configurations
0 to 5 in LTE TDD. The 5G system may send, to the terminal, the system information
specific to the cell in which the terminal is located and the indication information
specific to the terminal, to notify the time domain resource configurations in the
5G system.
(1) For the time domain resource configuration 0 in LTE TDD, an uplink and downlink
switching period is five transmission time units. A time domain resource type of each
transmission time unit or time domain symbol within the uplink and downlink switching
period is notified by using the system information. In this case, notification by
using the indication information specific to the terminal is unnecessary.
